All right, y'all ready for my #MSWL Day collection of oddities? Cause it's coming at ya (all #YA and #MG):
- Recreational fighting, both combat and noncombat (MMA, kick/boxing, karate, fencing, weapon work, etc.)
- Girl gamers
1/?

I also would love some stories about nonbinary characters, in whatever way they come. But I'd REALLY love if they were just existing and had normal problems like acne and what hairstyle to wear to prom. Normal teenage stuff please #MSWL #YA

I always forget to advertise this, but I AM on the look out for SFF in YA and Adult! I like grounded sci-fis like PREY OF GODS and THE LUMINOUS DEAD. Fantasy like Molly Tanzer. #mswl

Give me creepy, whether YA or Adult. I'll keep asking for horror until I get it! Less gore and more psychological #MSWL

My full #mswl is linked below, but some highlights include
-lush YA fantasy
-quirky MG (mis)adventure
-first year of college YA
-unreliable narrator

A #mswl CRAVING for horror in YA and Adult. I love haunting, meaty narratives like SAWKILL GIRLS, sleepy and dreamy lore like THE WICKED DEEP, the creepy witchy nightmare of #MarianneNetflix. If it has a romance element, MAKE IT GAY. #mswl

Wholeheartedly agreed. #MSWL

#lgbt #mswl I'd like to see more adult or #YA stories featuring polyamorous relationships (any genre as long as it's in my wheelhouse)

I am dying for romances in YA & Adult. Queer preferred. Commercial, high stakes concepts with a fun angle. Interracial couples w/non-white partners. Light-hearted but not cutesy. 2011 Tumblr-angst. #mswl

#MSWL Team sports in middle grade and YA. Would especially LOVE a high school girls team with a few main characters. But I'm also a sucker for Friday Night Lights...

as a gal with many straight, strictly platonic, male best friends, I would love to see more of that in both YA and Adult #MSWL

Thing I’ve noticed: my YA list skews more girl, and my MG list more boy. I’d like to balance that, but still maintaining my overarching tastes: high concept, good plots, not-issue-books, joy and exploration and fantasy (both literal and just escapism). #MSWL

YA contemporary: I don’t want good girls, nice girls, nice kids. I want kids with buried secrets and selfish truths. Ones that try their best to be good but falter and make the wrong choices. Dark tone, snarky but not the shitty kind of egotistical wittiness. #mswl

YA mystery/thriller in the vein of ONE OF US IS LYING, TWO CAN KEEP A SECRET, or THE CHEERLEADERS. #MSWL

#MSWL Smart and sexy rom-coms (I want to laugh and fall in love!), epic family dramas, gritty and contemporary YA, true crime that reads like a suspense novel, anything food related (f and nf), pop science and history

Happy #MSWL Day!

I would love to a funny and uplifting friendship break-up / make-up story, or a fraught and complicated friend break-up story (perhaps a thriller?). #MG, #YA, #Adult Surprise me! #MSWL

For my wish list + more about me, see:

#MSWL: Looking for #ownvoices Jewish lit! Either contemporary adult romance or YA. Does *not* have to be a story about religion or faith specifically.

Always HIGH on my #mswl priority: YA; queer friends of color from the hood, or lower-middle class a la failed NY industry. Full of heart, promise, and school skipping hijinks to idk attempt to skate the Statue of Liberty. Fast talking, no-nonsense kids w/a tight bond. Funny!

#mswl - YA thrillers and mysteries. If you comp to ONE OF US IS LYING, MONDAY'S NOT COMING, or SADIE, please -- query me!

A thread of more specific #mswl items I'd love to see:

A #YA about lady knights with the feel of SONG OF THE LIONESS/Alanna of Trebond
